Cook the chicken breast in water with cilantro, onion, garlic, and salt until fully cooked, about 40 minutes. Cool and shred.
For the green sauce, heat a small pot over medium heat with water, cook the tomatoes along with the chili, white onion, garlic, and ½ cup of cilantro until the tomatoes change color. Strain and blend with the remaining cilantro, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Heat a pot over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil and fry the sauce until it reduces and thickens slightly, adjust seasoning and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with the remaining oil and lightly fry the tortillas, remove and place on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
Fill the tortillas with shredded chicken, fold them and place them on a plate, drizzle with green sauce and serve with cheese, cream, onion rings, and cilantro. Enjoy.
